Capítulo 165: 165. Why can't you love me?

"I believe you, Hayford." Elaine said, cutting him short. When Hayford looked at her, she had a strained smile on her face, and he felt her touch his arm and rub it gently.

Elaine didn't know why she said that, but at that point in time, that was the only words that came on her mind. Something to make him feel better and less guilty. That she believed he lost control.
